Ugly Do It Yourself Products To Save Money

I was watching this video today on how you can pretty much make your own HDTV antenna and get free HD channels without having to pay for a cable subscription.

The first thing I was thinking was how it looks kind of hideous and there are probably a lot of people who wouldnâ€™t use it despite the fact that it could potentially save them a lot of money every year. Would you use stuff like this if it meant saving hundreds of dollars each year?
Assuming this solution works for you, in these cases I would be inclined to say it is fine as it is not like a piece of clothing where everyone would automatically start judging you for where it can affect people in certain professions.
